This event will feature scholars from the Pacific region and various universities across the country.
The participants will explore the ways in which the themes of “empire and sovereignty,” “gender and sexuality,” and “indigeneity and race” inform their curricula and challenge popular perceptions.

Keynote speakers:
Professor Maenette Benham, Dean of the School of Hawaiian Knowledge at the University of Hawai’i at Manoa, and
Professor Vicente M. Diaz, Director of Asian/Pacific Islander American Studies at the University of Michigan.
